After Horizon 1 tanked at the Box Office, I was expecting a hot piece of unwatchable garbage, but was pleasantly surprised with an old school Western epic I thoroughly enjoyed. I like Costner when he keeps it simple, and gets it right. I loved Dances with Wolves, but found Waterworld and The Postman to be cookie cutter Dances rip offs.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like Costner as a person to hang out with, but Horizon was really good, and I hope it goes directly to streaming soon. I also hope he gets to make H3 and H4, but that seems doubtful now.

I also wasn't expecting much from this film, but I really enjoyed it, & became invested, looking forward to Part 2...so quite disappointed that its possibly being abondoned...🤷🏻‍♂️

H2 was shot right after H1, so it's in the can ready for distribution, it is without doubt getting a release, most likely straight to streaming/vod, which begs the question if there's appetite and budget to fund H3&H4 from someplace like Apple+, Netflix, or Amazon

I misread that at "steaming void"
